Brain tumors are largely divided into malignant and benign, with significant differences in growth rate, invasiveness, and recurrence rate.

Malignant brain tumors grow rapidly and have the characteristic of invading and destroying surrounding brain tissue.

The boundary between the tumor and the surrounding tissue is unclear, and it is difficult to completely remove it with surgery, and radiation therapy or chemotherapy must be administered concurrently.

Malignant brain tumors such as glioblastoma or high-grade glioma have a high risk of recurrence and often have a poor prognosis.

Benign brain tumors grow more slowly than malignant tumors and do not invade surrounding tissues.

Brain tumor treatment has been steadily evolving to reduce patient aftereffects and minimize side effects from surgery.

The occurrence of aftereffects has significantly decreased in craniotomy, and with the application of endoscope-based surgery and gamma knife radiosurgery that does not use a knife, the surgical burden on patients is greatly reduced.
